I could throw Arry in my Cart and carry him along until he is back. halfling with 10 items = +5 so total encumbrance is +3 so even have room for another.

Yeah I like that idea :pac::pac:

I'll update tomorrow after I re-read the threads.

Really all that's left is a bit of extra shopping, so I'll probably go ahead with the journey to Thurmunton tonight. Shopping list can be posted with a bit of exposition in the Scene II thread whenever you're ready otherwise, no harm keeping it open for a bit for loose ends.

You could just proceed to the Scene III thread first even, if you want.

Fourier

New thread is up!

OK, I’ve bought a horse called Clipclop, stuck a saddle and saddle bag on, and loaded in the bedroll, my cursed ghost-mace, 10 days horse feed and horse barding.

My pack has 2 large sacks, 3 sets of 8 torches, flint and steel, 1 flask of oil, rations, a waterskin, a wineskin and a vampire pencil (it may not be a vampire).

I’m wearing my armour (Chain, unless Donnie has a cool cursed option), a Shield, a Flail, A sling with bullets.


My encumbrance I’ve worked out as :

Me : 10 items + Armour (1) = 2

Horse (unladen) : 3 items (0) + Armour (1)

Horse (riding) : 3 items (0) + Armour (1) + 5

10 items doesn’t count the bags, holy symbol (I’m wearing it), bullets (they’re listed as weightless).

Horse items – I didn’t count the saddle or saddle bag. That ok?

I’ve spent 348 . Edit - ghost mace brings it to 350 - I'm broke!

chain mail - 70

Backpack 2

Sack, L x 2 - 0.4

Holy Symbol (w) 1

Bullets x loads : 0

horse 75

saddle 25

saddlebag 0.1

Bedroll 0.1

horse barding 150

horse feed x 10 - 0.5

torch (8) x 3 - 0.9

Oil flask 0.1

Flint n steel 2

Rations (trail) x 5 - 2.5

Waterskin 1

Wineskin 1

Flail 3

Sling 2

Shield 10

Spade 2

Looks good Banjo. I'll review the gear soon, but you all look pretty prepared.

If anybody doesn't like the wilderness encounter style just let me know.

Guys I'm off to bed. Try not to die overnight. Kay?

robyntmorton

Sleep well. I'm off too. Things to do tomorrow and I need to be awake to do them!

Necro

Fook me it's kicked off since I was last here :pac:

Just to summarise the hitting rules.

Look at the top table on p.60, scroll down your character's class column until you get to your level. So a 8th level fighter would go 7 rows down.

Then scroll across to the enemies AC. The entry there tells you the number you need to roll (or better) to hit.

An Orc has AC 6, so if a Level 8 Fighter tried to hit him, they'd need to roll an 8 or better.

Modifiers:
You add your strength modifier to your roll when doing hand-to-hand. Dex modifier when using ranged weapons.

Modifiers are:
3 => -3
4-5 => -2
6-8 => -1
9-12 => 0
13-15 => +1
16-17 => +2
18 => +3

In addition for ranged weapons, you add +1 when they're close, nothing at middle distance and -1 when far away.

Let's take the example of Elin hitting the zombies:
Level 1 thief versus zombie of AC 8, hitting with bolt.

Level 1 thief is second row (note that first row is level 0, a regular human, like a farmer), if we scroll across to AC 8, we see the target is 11. So that's what Elin needs to get.

Elin is Dex 18, so she adds +3 to whatever she rolls. The Zombie's are close range so that's an extra +1. +4 in total to whatever she rolls, trying to get 11.

dex 18 is a serious shot

Unfortunately I get **** rolls so I needed all the help I could get. Also thieves have to be dexterous.

Necro

No one died last night at least.... :P

Banjo

Night ain't over yet

DigiSol could still turn a few of them. Also, since they're undead there's a reasonable chance they're drawn to my ghost-magnet mace and maybe I can provide a distraction by trying to push through them? Clipclop is armoured and it would be in-character for me (bravery : foolhardy, plus my God has instructed me to ignore them).

Do zombies roam wild or are they an indication that there's something worse out there controlling them? 'cause worse things tend to have treasure...

True I forgot Digi could use the turn undead as well.

Are you suggesting we use you as a human shield :pac:

Well... yeah, sure! I mean, I already took care of nearly half of them for you, the least I can do is take care of the other half I have low strength though and these buggers seem to be pretty resilient and I can't see in the dark. And if I get my torch lit, presumably that will act as a beacon for the less supernatural nasties out there. All I'm saying is if it works as a distraction, chop them up nice and quick.

The only thing is we haven't worked out who Alexander is doubled up with, 'cause he cheaped out on buying a horse. So if I gallop into the fray and it turns out he's with me... well... I suppose he lived as he died - torn apart and eaten by the undead.

Well, I'm in the fray already having charged into battle stupidly. I can also see in the dark and I'm relatively hard to hit (AC 3 means a 16 or higher). So off ye all go to Thurmonton and let the dwarf take one for the team...

Lord TSC

300 gold. Ok, missed that :P

Since we've left town, I'll keep it handy, I guess, and be in charge of bribes and such :P

Banjo

Don't say that out loud! The DM will hear you! See how the fight is going, see if you need to ret-con a dog purchase and some retainer hiring into Scene II

Look how much better this looks :

Alexander sees the zombies and looks for something to take cover behind, leaving the fighting, for now, to the more physically abled fighters in the group. And Fleshripper, his humongous, ravenous bull mastif.

Well Am anyways seeing as 4 of the bastids went for me :pac:

sKeith

Sure thing, but i'll be an hour before I will be able to roll.

Mollyb60

Removal of heads and firey burning. I've hit my one anyway thanks be to the dice gods.

Necro

Me too I'll try to keep up but wanted to get it in early as I'm knee deep in rehearsals tonight

Banjo

What in the actual ****? So I have a blood drinking pencil that will give me awesome berserker powers?

You know my gal is chaotic, right. There's no way I'm not going to abuse this at some point and get us all killed... Apologies in advance...

Now I'm very worried about that mace...

Tigger, you need a torch lit?
